Persia's Catnip Sock

Every couple of weeks I refill Persia's "sock" with the good catnip (I keep
it stored in the freezer). Her "sock" has a velcro closure to make emptying
and refilling it simple. Catnip only makes her slightly crazy. She doesn't
normally get the zoomies but she rolls around with it and bunny kicks it
into submission. Then it's time for her to give it a good washing

Last night she did the bunny kick thing but I guess she was too tired to
wash the sock. Next thing I knew, she had wrapped her paws around it and
laid her head on it like a pillow and was sound asleep. She looked so
sweet! (Darnit why isn't my digital camera battery here yet?!)

Awwwww. The moments in life like that are the ones you need to burn into
the hard drive of you brain when a camera is unavailable. What the heck
type of battery does you camera take that needs to be ordered??? I go to
Walgreens to get mine.

Hugs,

It's an lithium rechargeable battery, about 2 inches long and rounded on one
side, flat on the other. My camera is a 4 year old Sony Mavica that takes
3.5 diskettes rather than memory sticks or whatever those things are. Best
Buy didn't have the battery in stock so I ordered one online.

I think when you get a job you should get a new camera. Will keep
purring for you.

LOL! But I *love* my Mavica! I don't have to connect anything to the PC -
just pop out the diskette and pop it into the a: drive and voila, instant
pictures!

Oh, connecting things to the PC is easy. I used to have my USB cable
permanently attatched to the computer and the end was lying on my
desk. So all I had to do is plug it into the camera. Now that I have
my new computer, I just take my XD memory card out of the camera and
stick it into a little slot in the front of my computer. Voila,
instant pictures :-) You can also do that with a little card reader
that you have permanently connected to the computer. I don't know how
much they are over there, but here they are only about $10.
I can't imagine that a 4 year old camera has very good resolution. My
Olympus is 2 years old and has 4 megapixels. That used to be a lot
but it's not all that great anymore. We gave our old 1 megapixel
camera to our niece, the pictures were just so crappy compared to the
new camera.

I do the same thing with socks! I partially fill them with dryer lint (the
soft fluffy kind from my blankets)...then add some catnip.

I never thought of storing catnip in the freezer. Does it stay fresher
longer this way? And do you freeze the store bought kind or is it the
fresh grown kind?

Yes, it does. Storing herbs in the freezer is a trick my mom taught me. Of
course the catnip is dried the herbs I freeze are "fresh" from the market,
but either way freezing keeps them longer.

We love coffee and buy Starbuck's whole bean Columbian. Right now we keep
them in the fridge to preserve freshness. I wonder if keeping them in the
freezer would be better?

That I really couldn't tell you. These days I only drink coffee when we
breakfast at a diner when we're on the road. Even when I had an office to
go to, I generally would have one cup. More often I'd avail myself of one
of the many teas they had to offer, with honey and a little half & half
(like single cream for our non U.S. friends).
